Senior AFL writer for The Age

NORTH Melbourne has dismissed reports departing AFL football operations manager Adrian Anderson would join the Roos as chief executive, a role not filled on a permanent basis since the resignation of Eugene Arocca mid-season.

Sources at Arden Street claimed the Roos had not spoken to Anderson about the position.

North said there was no suggestion of him joining the club in the role, despite bookmakers installing Anderson as $2 favourite for the job.

''I've got a couple of ideas but it's not something I'm going to rush into,'' said Anderson.
